""In 1845 the Sultan of Zanzibar had declared that the export of slaves was forbidden...British & French men-of-war patrolled the coast in search of Arab dhows bringing Negroes from the mainland. But none of this had made any real difference. With a tradition of at least 2,000 years of slaving behind them none of the east coast Arab dealers had as yet dreamed of giving up the trade" (6-7)."

""Age and experience by themselves don't increase your spiritual maturity. Becoming like Jesus doesn't happen incidentally or automatically with the passing of birthdays. Godliness, as 1 Timothy 4:7 says, requires a deliberate discipline. The Discipline of learning transforms accidental learners into intentional learners" (127-8)." Jul 29, 2026 11:38AM

""The Arabs stopped...Someone was shouting - no, lots of people were shouting, but Turnbull couldn't understand any of it. Now the Arabs were shouting too, and there was more shouting, and one of the Arabs raised his G36 and then there was roaring from every direction as the Arabs were caught in a hail of gunfire and shredded before they could get a round off...From the woods, men in camouflage appeared..."

Dinesh D'Souza
“Not only is religion thriving, but it is thriving because it helps people to adapt and survive in the world. In his book Darwin's Cathedral, evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson argues that religion provides something that secular society doesn't: a vision of transcendent purpose. Consequently, religious people have a zest for life that is, in a sense, unnatural. They exhibit a hopefulness about the future that may exceed what is warranted by how the world is going. And they forge principles of morality and charity that simply make them more cohesive, adaptive, and successful than groups whose members lack this binding and elevating force.”
Dinesh D'Souza, What's So Great About Christianity

C.S. Lewis
“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.”
C.S. Lewis

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Hippocrates
“Eunuchs do not take the gout, nor become bald.”
Hippocrates & Galen, Hippocrates | Galen

Dinesh D'Souza
“There is a legitimate argument over whether the death penalty effectively deters violent crime, although my personal observation is that not one of the criminals who have been executed over the years has ever killed again.”
Dinesh D'Souza, Letters to a Young Conservative
